With the return of Porzingis, the Dallas Mavericks once again scored another wave of winning streaks. As a team that has reached the playoffs in recent years, the strength of the Lone Rangers can not be underestimated. Their team's star Luka Doncic, once the successor known as LeBron James, also has unimaginable passing ability and unparalleled ball quotient, so that many young players in the Lone Rangers team have quickly grown. Of course, they are still a little far from hitting the championship at this stage, but as long as the team is transformed, why not have a better tomorrow?
Their opponent in this game is the Thunder team from The Russian City, a Western fish belly that is in the reconstruction stage. Without the superstar players who led the team to win, the Thunder gained a large number of future draft picks in the process of rebuilding. With the choice in their own hands, the road to future reconstruction is still relatively clear. However, at this stage, they are not very competitive, and were once bullied by other teams in the league. And this time away to challenge the Lone Rangers, they have brought a lot of pressure to the opponent.
At the beginning of the game, the Lone Rangers, who played at home, took the lead in entering the state, and played a 33-24 single-quarter score with the help of the team's star Doncic in the first quarter with the help of 9 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. The lone rangers who entered the second quarter of the showdown can continue to widen the point difference between the two teams. Although Doncic fell into the freezing point in the second quarter, shooting 0 of 4 in a single quarter, the other players in the team were able to step forward one after another to help the team play a full-fledged state and take a 2-point lead with a 20-18 score.
At the end of the first half of the game, the Lone Rangers have scored 53-42, leading the Thunder by a crucial 11 points! Easy to fight again, the Thunder can also counterattack. In the third quarter of the competition, Alexander played a full 12 minutes of game time, with an efficient output of 5 shots and 4, sent a comprehensive data of 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, helping the team play a 30-24 single quarter score and recover the 6 points that had previously fallen behind. By the time they reached the crucial final-quarter showdown, the gap between the two sides had narrowed to 5 points, and the Thunder were still at a disadvantage.
In the fourth quarter of the regular showdown, although the Thunder team can do their best to play a 30-27 single-quarter score, but still failed to achieve the final reversal. In the end, regular time was over and the Lone Rangers still scored 104-102 to win the game. To be sure, Doncic reached his feet in the crucial last quarter, but refused to leave the game early, and after a simple adjustment from the field, he returned to the game! This rare winning spirit is absolutely convincing. And Doncic did not disappoint, in the 39 minutes of a single game, sent a triple-double of 20 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, effectively helping the team to reject the opponent's upset counterattack.
And looking at the Thunder side, their star Alexander is also very good. His playing time also came to 37 minutes, and with an efficient output of 11 of 18 shots, he delivered a game-high score of 34 points, as well as 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Even though he failed to lead the team to complete the final reversal, Alexander has shown his ability to walk alone, and he has also played his not simple team leadership strength, proving that he is indeed eligible for a 5-year, $172 million early renewal contract.
